Forecasts

Lawn Ranger (5/2), Warhol (11/4), Vissani (10/3), God Of Thunder (6/1), Ship To Shore (9/1), Fight For It (18/1), Bluenose Belle (18/1), Kanuhura (20/1), Agent Empire (28/1), Moorgate (125/1)

WARHOL didn't get the clearest of runs when a good third on his reappearance at this course last week and is taken to go one better. Lawn Ranger and God of Thunder should also go well.
